Hi there. I've recently purchased a Cherry Mobile One G1. I'm planning to root it so I can modify bootloader, bootlogo & flash some system files(e.g. Pixel Experience). But I want to make sure that I can return back to stock if something goes wrong and also apply if I can't install the OTA. Is the nandroid backup will work on this? TWRP recovery backup? Any successful methods?

Yes I think!
You can Reflash stock rom!
And dunno about twrp method, that method may also works, but I don't own the device so that I can't tell you exactly...

Hello,
I plane on root my nexus one, I had it since its release and now I see some limits with my unrooted phone. But before that I would like to backup everything and when I think backup of a computer, I think image (acronis, ghost, wim, etc.) but is it possible to do the same with my phone ? Even if it is still not rooted ? If not, how should I backup it ?
Best regards,
rXp>!<
You have to root before you can take an image (called a NAND backup)
Ok thanks, so how do you think I should backup ? Copy/past of my SDCARD ?

Install ROM Manager from the market and use it's backup feature.
Still need rooted phone it says. :/ I need a unrooted phone backup technique first.

No way to do it unless you are rooted, or have an unlocked bootloader.
Hello all,
I have rooted my galaxy note,have recovery working and think i am ready to tweak my machine.
I have created a backup from recovery so am i correct to think that after flashing,lets say,custom kernal,i can get it all back to where i am now by restoring this backup made from recovery?
And same goes for flashing and trying ROCKETROM?
Love this forum by the way,keep it up!
you get back the exact status of which the backup was made from.
you can easily check out different roms and get back to your old system by restoring from the backup (dont forget to geht them specific names as they are named by date+time)

Now how's that for a quick reply,thanx two_handed,making different backups while trying different stuff is a good one!
The kernel will be over-written by your restore.
If you flash a new kernel and then restore your previous backup, you will lose the new kernel and return to your original setup.

Ahh,tx nobnut,with that i have both my questions answered
Gonna try out sum stuff right away!!
There is just one thing to bear in mind.
Some kernels use different recoveries than 'stock' (e.g. Chainfire's modified recovery). If you use one of these, your restore might not work.
Don't worry. If you flash the Chainfire kernel again using the CWM app or Mobile ODIN, you can then restore your backup.

Okay,took me a while but i flashed latest rocketrom that includes a different recovery,not cwm. Does that mean i can not use it to restore my stock,rooted backup?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Whats the "different" recovery? Red pill? If yes, red pill backups are normally compatible with cwm recoverys and vice versa.
What about just giving it a try?

My brother (being the idiot he is) decided to take it upon himself to root my htc one (unlocked Australian model). Now I have a custom recovery installed and so can't install the recently available 4.2.2 update. Is there either a way to install this update, or a way to flash back the original recovery so that I can install it?
Both yes. You can download the original recovery.img and flash it via fastboot. but now that you can flash zips why not try a ROM from XDA devs. Most are very stock with some extra features.

What would you recommend that is similar to the 4.2.2 update (with the home key menu functionality)?

I'm quite interested in this one, but want to double check, with the installation is it really as simple as downloading the zip, then rebooting into recovery and installing the zip from there? No need for anything else like the cmd on pc or anything? Seems rather simple is all, just want to make sure I'm understanding it right. Will be the first time flashing a custom Rom is all.

Since you already have a custom recovery, then yes it is as easy as installing the zip. Its always safer to make a nandroid backup first however, so choose the backup option in your recovery, and save that file to your computer, then you can easily flash the custom ROM.

Well I have Rom manager installed which does the same thing I believe, so I'll be sure to make a backup beforehand.
Ok guys, I'm new to this device but not HTC or twrp. So I just unlocked, s offd, rooted blahblahblah. The normal.. downloaded trickdroid, and ofcourse made a backup of my stock att....before I flashed trickdroid, as always I wanted to make sure I had a backup ready just incase so I went into restore in twrp and nothing is there.. now, i know I made 2 backups, one from when I initially rooted and one just after downloading trickdroid so, I rebooted, checked in esfile explorer under twrp and both of my backups exsist there but not in the restore section of twrp.. what am I missing here? They can be seen in the install section of twrp but can't be flashed ofcourse as they aren't .zip files, so where and how do I restore if shtf...? Tia... See Pics attatched...

Use root explorer...TWRP/backups...
If they are not there...I'm not sure but you may not have them
I know they are there, I can see them in both twrp under the install tab an in es. My question is why arent they showing under the restore tab of twrp..? I know they're there, in twrp backups, but, once again, they do not show "restore" in twrp where they should be showing...

Root/sdcard/twrp should be the path so the twrp folder should be in sdcard. Is that where it shows it?
I have rooted my HTC one. I did install a custom rom using twrp Download Android 4.4 KitKat Sense 5.5 Stock ROM (odexed) for HTC One.
It said it succeeded but never booted into system. Maybe I didn't wait long enough. At that point I used twrp to restore my back up. The backup succeeded but my data service does not come on and the phone is rebooting over and over.
Should I factory reset? Can I? Should I install another rom? Need some help.

You probably flashed a GSM ROM. Only use ROMs which are made for sprint. The only 4.4 sense ROM for Sprint right now is ElipticOne.

Thanks I will look at the info. The thing is is I have a backup. Why is twrp not restoring a working backup? It created the backup from a working system. Not sure why it succeeds in restoring but gets stuck in a reboot cycle without a data connection. The wifi works as long as the phone is not rebooting. It works for about a minute before it reboots.
